I dont know the exact definition of "cam-only", but I have always considered it as a stock long block with cam change only (stock shortblock, heads, compression ratio etc.). With fair game on all ancillaries like pulleys, electric water pump, intake, TB etc.
From what I've been reading "CAM-ONLY" is FULL BOLT ONS (headers, exhaust, intake, etc) and a cam with STOCK untouched Heads. Don't make sense to add a cam and choke it off with stock exhaust manifold, intake and exhaust......
The next level would be Heads/cam. Which would add headwork to the above. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.....

That style intake is what needs to be on all performance based ls motors from the factory. The Germans all have dual bank intakes for their performance engines. I know ls motors need to be small for packaging an placement, but their has to be a way to do it. Even my car could use that style intake if they designed the radiator a little differently. I want it...

LS3 W/ LLSR making 542 RWHP with stock intake @ 6850 RPM!
did have FRH stage 1 Port on factory castings, W stock Compression.
Ozmo Intake $3000+ so more than FRH Stage 1 Port Job.
Imagine 25 more CI + 11.7:1 Compression and VaraRam Intake.
600 RWHP with medium sized cam on pump gas?
I hope to find out soon.
